Easy Digital Downloads Gateway Fees 1.5.6
Description
Easy Digital Downloads Gateway Fees is a WordPress plugin that helps Easy Digital Downloads merchants add extra charges based on the payment gateway used at checkout. If different gateways have different processing costs, this extension lets you mirror those differences by applying a fee to specific methods. Instead of manually adjusting prices, you can configure flat amounts and/or percentage fees per enabled gateway. This improves revenue accuracy and keeps payment totals consistent for each checkout flow.
Whether you accept payments through gateways like Stripe, PayPal Pro, Braintree, Authorize.net, or other supported direct credit card processors, Gateway Fees calculates the correct additional charge automatically during the purchase process.
